A one-act play that takes place towards the end of a night, at a makeshift NA meeting in a friend’s house under the guise of band practice.
Exploring a range of characters sharing stories of love, grief, and sobriety throughout a rehearsal. Some people’s stories range from the biblical to the fleeting to the insignificant, and all should be heard, disappeared, and found again. A queer hauntological perspective of lost futures informing our very present.

Almost impossible to define, the best way to describe their music is by imagining MIA, Kate Bush, and Tom Tom Club mixing aesthetics. Not influenced by pop but creating pop songs, it’s “rhythmic and primal, airy and ethereal, and intense and catchy, all with a sense of playful fun.” (John Ordean of One In Ten Words)
They have a good time, and SHARE it too. Yuli Beeri on Bass and Vocals. Isaac Gardner on Drums. With special guests Ken Butler playing his home made instruments, and Jonathon Wright on Hurdy Gurdy (whatever that is).
Food and drinks available for purchase. FREE SHOW.

2023-08-24 18:00 - 20:00
BrickHouse Ceramic Art Center is excited to present the accomplishments of one its associate artists, Colin Radcliffe, upon the release of his new book TO FEEL THESE THINGS. We will be hosting an artist talk on August 24th , moderated by Christopher Chang and including Justin Liam O’Brien, followed by a Q&A and book signing.
Drinks and snacks will be served.
TO FEEL THESE THINGS is a hybrid between a traditional artist book and an autobiographical memoir spanning 8 years of Colin J. Radcliffe’s personal life and ceramic sculpture. Through a combination of image and text this project explores the dynamics and nuances of contemporary Queer relationships in an increasingly digital world. The book includes over 100 images of the artists’ work, a foreword written by writer Christopher Llyod Chang, an essay by contemporary figure painter Justin Liam O’Brien, and features an interview between Colin J. Radcliffe and Justin Moran, former editor-in-chief of Paper Magazine. It is a limited edition of 150 books, each signed and numbered by the artist. The book was made possible in part with funds from the 2023 Queens Art Grant.
Colin J. Radcliffe (b.1994) is a ceramic sculptor based in NYC and Paris. Radcliffe graduated with a B.A. in Studio Arts from Bard College, and has exhibited work both nationally and internationally. Notable solo and two-person exhibitions include Equity Gallery, Spring Break Art Fair, Schlomer Haus Gallery, and The Java Project. Radcliffe has had work included in group exhibitions at Villa Noailles, C24 Gallery, Klaus von Nichtssagend Gallery, Lauren Powell Projects, Flatland Gallery, and the Bob Mizer Foundation. Publications that have featured Radcliffe’s work and practice include PAPER Magazine, Queerty, Artsy, FALO, Whitehot Magazine, PNPPL Zine, Friend of the Artist, and Arcade Project, among others. His work is included in permanent collections in Belgium, Brazil, France, Germany, South Africa, South Korea, the UK, and the US.
Colin has been an Associate artist at BrickHouse for six years. BrickHouse offers year-round pottery classes to adults and shelf space to ceramic artists, for a monthly fee.
